Board Games ¶

Quest for the Best
- It happened! Fun was had!
- Eight or nine people at the peak
- Games were voted on and played
- It was better to be assertive and pick games instead of letting people wander in circles saying "i don't mind"
- Strong recommendation for board game arena
- 7 Wonders was the winning game
Tabletop Tuesdays
- Went really well!
- Seven or eight players for most of the night
- Some tech issues with getting people logged into the server
- Following a structure of allowing people to suggest games, and then a leader to dictate which game was played was highly effective

Emerald: Run TTS Tuesday next week

Next board game event?
- Do we have any ideas for themes we could run? Unfortunately that's a lot harder when we don't have our library at our disposal
- Emerald: Could we do plant-related games?
- Gwen: Could we do regional games, e.g. games from Asia?
  - Gwen pulls up some sites and finds examples of games for this theme
- Discussion over what the oldest game in the world is

Gwen, Josh: Organise International Games Night

RPGs ¶

Monster of the Week
- Our GMs were Autumn, Emerald, Vikrum, and Merlin
- Huge thank you to Vikrum
- Emerald used roll20 which was useful for maps and automating
- Autumn was able to run her game fine without
- MotW is well suited to an online format
Star Wars
- Alice was able to gather three GMs, but two of them dropped out in the past two days
- Strong consideration of calling off the event
- Emerald: Do we know more GMs who could do Numenera?

Alice, Alistair: Organise a Numenera oneshot on the star wars week

Magic ¶

New set drops in paper in 2 weeks
Aoibhinn asked about a prerelease and now Alistair is sad
Can we do a draft, maybe?
We are not getting clearance in the next 2 weeks

Wargames ¶

Screaming out of the abyss
Unable to find a way to run these online
Painting day had minimal attendance
Wargames are dead for now

Fresher Campaigns ¶

No progress was made for now

Autumn, Alice: Make the first fresher campaigns and send them out this weekend

Events: ¶

Halloween 2019: ¶

Jackie has followed an extremely long trading quest string of people for information
Apparently UCC has a hand so let's ask them

Jackie: Contact Jarcus about Halloween

Charity UnVigil: ¶

Activities on our night: Kyle is mapping out RPGs and board games
Activities on the collab night: We are aiming to run Empty Epsilon or Artemis as the big collab event, and as a more drop-in-drop-out option we're gonna have a Minecraft server
Thank you Kyle for picking up raffle prizes from tactics
$22.50 was spent at Tactics on raffle prizes
THANK YOU TACTICS for your donations
On the budget front: Had a stern chat with UCC about them wanting to drop their budget, Jarcus will return to their committee and hopefully get a $100 budget approved. If not, we will all be spending $50.

Has anyone noticed any dropouts?
The quality seems pretty passable
The only issues, which are extant, seem to be with people's spotty connections or push to talk issues

Book Repair ¶

It's happening!
Emerald is repairing Galaxy Trucker right now!
Tape was forgotten from the list so glueing and reinforcing is happening
Books are going to be rebound
Motion to increase the book repair budget from $10 to $30, including the $14.06 already spent.
